Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic assembly on a flexible planar circuit substrate having a conductor configuration on a first substrate surface and a plurality of electronic components on the opposite second substrate surface, wherein the components comprise component contacts which are selectively electrically connected via vias in the circuit substrate and the conductor configuration. It further relates to a method for producing such an assembly.
- thermoplastic polymers have advantageous properties, in particular with regard to low diffusion rates of oxygen, water and ions; However, such polymers are not very stable in thermal lamination in the xy plane. Therefore, those skilled in the art usually do not consider such circuit substrate materials in view of the high stability requirements of the substrate in positioning many microelectronic circuits or other electronic devices on a single substrate.
- the object of the invention is to provide an improved electronic assembly, which can be manufactured in particular with a high position accuracy of the components used and is optimized for use in implantable devices and in equipment suitable for aggressive environments, and to provide a method for their production.
- thermoplastic polymers are unsuitable as a substrate material of the circuit substrate of electronic assemblies for mechanical reasons, and further includes structural as well as technological aspects with which an electronic package using such a circuit substrate may be incorporated Fulfillment of all requirements can be realized.
- a conductor configuration may also be disposed on the second substrate surface, and this may also be configured in the manner just mentioned.
- at least on the second surface of the circuit substrate arranged components can also be placed on the first substrate surface components.
- a multilayer design of the assembly with a plurality of circuit substrates and associated first and second surfaces and correspondingly positioned conductor configurations and component groups is to be understood as being within the scope of the invention.
- the vias comprise metallizations implemented in openings of the circuit substrate.
- the breakthroughs are hereinafter referred to as "holes", even if they are not produced by means of a drilling tool, and although they are not necessarily designed circular cylindrical.
- a prefabricated pattern of openings or "holes” can be provided in embodiments of the invention, according to the assembly plan of the circuit substrate, only a predetermined subset with a metallization.
- Such embodiments can be realized with a selective metallization technique (such as by means of a metallization mask).
- all the holes of the hole pattern can be provided with an inner wall metallization, which simplifies the associated metallization process and makes less prone to error.
- the conductor configuration is formed of a first metallization layer and the plated-through holes are formed of a second metallization layer.
- the plated-through holes have a metallization deposited in bores of the circuit substrate. If necessary, in this case the deposited metallization is galvanically reinforced. In further embodiments of these embodiments, the plated-through holes have at least one metal from the group copper, gold, titanium, tungsten, palladium, chromium, nickel.
- the electronic assembly is provided with at least one of the components encapsulating thermoplastic protective film at least on the second substrate surface.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektronische Baugruppe auf einem flexiblen flächigen Schaltungssubstrat mit einer Leiterkonfiguration auf einer ersten Substratoberfläche und mehreren elektronischen Bauelementen auf der gegenüberliegenden zweiten Substratoberfläche, wobei die Bauelemente Bauelementkontakte aufweisen, die über Durchkontaktierungen in dem Schaltungssubstrat und die Leiterkonfiguration selektiv elektrisch angeschlossen sind. Sie betrifft des Weiteren ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Baugruppe.The invention relates to an electronic assembly on a flexible planar circuit substrate having a conductor configuration on a first substrate surface and a plurality of electronic components on the opposite second substrate surface, wherein the components comprise component contacts which are selectively electrically connected via vias in the circuit substrate and the conductor configuration. It further relates to a method for producing such an assembly.
Elektronische Baugruppen, die auf flächigen Schaltungssubstraten mir vorgefertigter Leiterkonfiguration, sog. Leiterplatten, aufgebaut sind, sind seit Jahrzehnten aus der Elektronik und Elektrotechnik nicht mehr wegzudenken und sind Gegenstand ständiger Weiterentwicklung.Electronic assemblies, which are built on flat circuit substrates with prefabricated conductor configuration, so-called printed circuit boards, have been indispensable for decades in electronics and electrical engineering and are the subject of constant further development.
Von vielen Weiterentwicklungen haben in den letzten Jahren die sog. System-In-Package(SIP)-Lösungen und unter diesen speziell die Embedded Chips oder Chip-In-Polymer-Anordnungen besondere Aufmerksamkeit gefunden. Zum Stand der Technik auf diesem speziellen Gebiet verweisen wir auf
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Standard-Leiterplattensubstrate speziell in aggressiven Umgebungen (etwa aggressiven atmosphärischen Umgebungen oder dem Körper von Lebewesen) chemisch nicht inert genug sind und/oder zu hohe Diffusionsraten für Sauerstoff bzw. Wasser haben. Die Anwendungsbereiche der genannten Technologie in Verbindung mit Standard-Leiterplatten sind daher in dieser Hinsicht begrenzt, und es wird nach alternativen Materialien gesucht. Bekannt ist hierbei, dass bestimmte thermoplastische Polymere insbesondere hinsichtlich niedriger Diffusionsraten von Sauerstoff, Wasser und Ionen vorteilhafte Eigenschaften haben; derartige Polymere sind aber beim thermischen Laminieren in der xy-Ebene nicht sehr stabil. Deshalb zieht der Fachmann derartige Schaltungssubstrat-Materialien im Hinblick auf die hohen Stabilitätsanforderungen des Substrats bei der Positionierung vieler mikroelektronischer Schaltkreise oder anderer elektronischer Bauelemente auf einem einzelnen Substrat üblicherweise nicht in Betracht.Of many developments in recent years, the so-called system-in-package (SIP) solutions and especially the embedded chips or chip-in-polymer arrangements have received special attention. We refer to the state of the art in this particular field
It has been found that standard circuit board substrates, especially in aggressive environments (such as aggressive atmospheric environments or the living body), are not chemically inert enough and / or have too high a diffusion rate for oxygen or water. The areas of application of said technology in connection with Standard printed circuit boards are therefore limited in this regard, and looking for alternative materials. It is known here that certain thermoplastic polymers have advantageous properties, in particular with regard to low diffusion rates of oxygen, water and ions; However, such polymers are not very stable in thermal lamination in the xy plane. Therefore, those skilled in the art usually do not consider such circuit substrate materials in view of the high stability requirements of the substrate in positioning many microelectronic circuits or other electronic devices on a single substrate.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine verbesserte elektronische Baugruppe, die insbesondere mit einer hohen Positionsgenauigkeit der eingesetzten Bauelemente gefertigt werden kann und für den Einsatz in implantierbaren Geräten sowie in für aggressive Umgebungen geeigneten Geräten optimiert ist, sowie ein Verfahren zu deren Herstellung anzugeben.The object of the invention is to provide an improved electronic assembly, which can be manufactured in particular with a high position accuracy of the components used and is optimized for use in implantable devices and in equipment suitable for aggressive environments, and to provide a method for their production.
Diese Aufgabe wird in ihrem Vorrichtungsaspekt durch eine elektronische Baugruppe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und in ihrem Verfahrensaspekt durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 10 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Fortbildungen des Erfindungsgedankens sind Gegenstand der jeweiligen abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved in its device aspect by an electronic assembly having the features of claim 1 and in its method aspect by a method having the features of claim 10. Advantageous further developments of the inventive concept are the subject of the respective dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beinhaltet eine bewusste Abkehr von der allgemein geltenden Einschätzung, dass thermoplastische Polymere als Substratmaterial des Schaltungssubstrat elektronischer Baugruppen aus mechanischen Gründen nicht geeignet sind, und sie schließt weiterhin strukturelle wie auch technologische Aspekte ein, mit denen eine elektronische Baugruppe unter Einsatz eines derartigen Schaltungssubstrats unter Erfüllung aller Anforderungen realisiert werden kann.The invention includes a deliberate departure from the generally accepted view that thermoplastic polymers are unsuitable as a substrate material of the circuit substrate of electronic assemblies for mechanical reasons, and further includes structural as well as technological aspects with which an electronic package using such a circuit substrate may be incorporated Fulfillment of all requirements can be realized.
Die Merkmale der erfindungsgemäßen Baugruppe sind im Sinne des weit aufgefächerten Standes der Technik mit dem breitestmöglichen Bedeutungsgehalt zu verstehen. Obgleich das Vorliegen einer solchen Leiterkonfiguration auf der ersten Substratoberfläche wesentlich ist, kann auch auf der zweiten Substratoberfläche eine Leiterkonfiguration angeordnet sein, und auch diese kann in der soeben genannten Weise ausgestaltet sein. Ähnlich können neben den erfindungsgemäß zumindest auf der zweiten Oberfläche des Schaltungssubstrats angeordneten Bauelementen auch auf der ersten Substratoberfläche Bauelemente platziert sein. Grundsätzlich ist auch eine mehrschichtige Ausführung der Baugruppe mit mehreren Schaltungssubstraten und jeweils zugeordneten ersten und zweiten Oberflächen und entsprechend positionierten Leiterkonfigurationen und Bauelementgruppen als im Rahmen der Erfindung liegend zu verstehen.The features of the assembly according to the invention are to be understood in terms of the widely fanned out prior art with the broadest possible meaning. Although the presence of such a conductor configuration on the first substrate surface is essential, a conductor configuration may also be disposed on the second substrate surface, and this may also be configured in the manner just mentioned. Similarly, in addition to the invention, at least on the second surface of the circuit substrate arranged components can also be placed on the first substrate surface components. In principle, a multilayer design of the assembly with a plurality of circuit substrates and associated first and second surfaces and correspondingly positioned conductor configurations and component groups is to be understood as being within the scope of the invention.
Die Durchkontaktierungen (Vias) umfassen in Durchbrüchen des Schaltungssubstrats realisierte Metallisierungen. Die Durchbrüche werden im Folgenden als "Bohrungen" bezeichnet, auch wenn sie nicht mittels eines Bohrwerkzeuges erzeugt werden, und obwohl sie nicht notwendigerweise kreiszylindrisch ausgeführt sind. In einem vorgefertigten Muster von Durchbrüchen bzw. "Bohrungen" kann in Ausführungen der Erfindung, entsprechend dem Bestückungsplan des Schaltungssubstrats nur eine vorbestimmte Teilmenge mit einer Metallisierung versehen sein. Solche Ausführungen sind mit einer selektiven Metallisierungstechnik (etwa mittels einer Metallisierungs-Maske) realisierbar. Alternativ können auch sämtliche Bohrungen des Bohrungsmusters mit einer Innenwand-Metallisierung versehen sein, was den zugehörigen Metallisierungsprozess vereinfacht und weniger fehleranfällig macht.The vias comprise metallizations implemented in openings of the circuit substrate. The breakthroughs are hereinafter referred to as "holes", even if they are not produced by means of a drilling tool, and although they are not necessarily designed circular cylindrical. In a prefabricated pattern of openings or "holes" can be provided in embodiments of the invention, according to the assembly plan of the circuit substrate, only a predetermined subset with a metallization. Such embodiments can be realized with a selective metallization technique (such as by means of a metallization mask). Alternatively, all the holes of the hole pattern can be provided with an inner wall metallization, which simplifies the associated metallization process and makes less prone to error.
In einer Ausführung der Erfindung sind die Leiterkonfiguration aus einer ersten Metallisierungsschicht und die Durchkontaktierungen aus einer zweiten Metallisierungsschicht gebildet. Dies bedeutet, dass die Grund-Verbindungsstruktur auf dem Schaltungssubstrat vorgefertigt und die Verbindung zwischen den eingesetzten Bauelementen und jener Grundstruktur nach dem Anfügen bzw. Einfügen der Bauelemente an/in das Schaltungssubstrat in einem späteren getrennten Schritt erzeugt werden kann.In one embodiment of the invention, the conductor configuration is formed of a first metallization layer and the plated-through holes are formed of a second metallization layer. This means that the basic connection structure can be prefabricated on the circuit substrate and the connection between the components used and that basic structure can be generated after the components have been added to the circuit substrate in a later separate step.
In bevorzugten Ausführungen weisen die Durchkontaktierungen eine in Bohrungen des Schaltungssubstrats abgeschiedene Metallisierung auf. Bedarfsweise ist hierbei die abgeschiedene Metallisierung galvanisch verstärkt. In weiteren Ausgestaltungen dieser Ausführungen weisen die Durchkontaktierungen mindestens ein Metall aus der Gruppe Kupfer, Gold, Titan, Wolfram, Palladium Chrom, Nickel auf.In preferred embodiments, the plated-through holes have a metallization deposited in bores of the circuit substrate. If necessary, in this case the deposited metallization is galvanically reinforced. In further embodiments of these embodiments, the plated-through holes have at least one metal from the group copper, gold, titanium, tungsten, palladium, chromium, nickel.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung ist die elektronische Baugruppe mit einer mindestens eines der Bauelemente einkapselnden thermoplastischen Schutzfolie mindestens auf der zweiten Substratoberfläche versehen. Diese kann aus dem gleichen Material wie das Schaltungssubstrat bestehen, je nach Anwendungssituation ist aber auch der Einsatz eines anderen thermoplastischen Materials möglich. In aus derzeitiger Sicht vorteilhaften Ausführungen weist das oder ein thermoplastisches Material mindestens ein Material aus der Gruppe flüssigkristallines Polymer, LCP; Polyetherketon, PEEK; fluorierte Polymere, oder Polyurethane auf.In a further advantageous embodiment, the electronic assembly is provided with at least one of the components encapsulating thermoplastic protective film at least on the second substrate surface. This may consist of the same material as the circuit substrate, but depending on the application situation, it is also possible to use another thermoplastic material. In embodiments which are advantageous from the current point of view, the or a thermoplastic material comprises at least one material from the group of liquid-crystalline polymer, LCP; Polyether ketone, PEEK; fluorinated polymers, or polyurethanes.
In weiteren Ausführungen weist das Schaltungssubstrat eine Dicke im Bereich zwischen 10 µm und 500 µm, insbesondere zwischen 10 µm und 100 µm, auf. Je nach Größe und Komplexität der elektronischen Baugruppe und der Anwendungssituation kommen grundsätzlich aber auch dünnere oder dickere Substrate in Betracht.In further embodiments, the circuit substrate has a thickness in the range between 10 .mu.m and 500 .mu.m, in particular between 10 .mu.m and 100 .mu.m. Depending on the size and complexity of the electronic assembly and the application situation, however, thinner or thicker substrates may also be considered.
In aus derzeitiger Sicht besonders vorteilhaften Funktionen/Anwendungen ist die elektronische Baugruppe ausgebildet als implantierbares elektromedizinisches Implantat oder Baugruppe eines solchen. Es kann sich aber auch speziell um ein Gerät oder eine Baugruppe eines Gerätes handeln, das/die unter "rauen" Umgebungsbedingungen, insbesondere in chemisch aggressiven Umgebungen, einzusetzen ist.In the current view particularly advantageous functions / applications, the electronic assembly is designed as an implantable electromedical implant or assembly of such. However, it can also be a device or an assembly of a device which is to be used under "harsh" environmental conditions, in particular in chemically aggressive environments.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung der vorab erläuterten Baugruppe umfasst zumindest die folgenden Schritte:
- Bereitstellen des ein thermoplastisches Polymer aufweisenden flexiblen flächigen Schaltungssubstrats,
- Erzeugen der Leiterkonfiguration auf der ersten Substratoberfläche,
- Erzeugen eines Bohrungsmusters entsprechend der Geometrie der Leiterkonfiguration,
- Erhitzen der auf die zweite Substratoberfläche aufzusetzenden Bauelemente,
- mit dem Bohrungsmuster im Schaltungssubstrat ausgerichtetes Aufsetzen der Bauelemente auf die zweite Substratoberfläche mit vorbestimmtem Anpressdruck und hierdurch bewirktes Einschmelzen bzw. thermisches Einpressen der Bauelementkontakte in die zweite Substratoberfläche im Bereich der Bohrung,
- selektive Metallabscheidung in das Bohrungsmuster und auf die Umgebung der Bohrungen von der ersten Substratoberfläche aus zur Erzeugung der Durchkontaktierungen.
- Providing the flexible sheet-like circuit substrate comprising a thermoplastic polymer,
- Generating the conductor configuration on the first substrate surface,
- Generating a hole pattern according to the geometry of the conductor configuration,
- Heating the components to be placed on the second substrate surface,
- Placing the components aligned with the bore pattern in the circuit substrate onto the second substrate surface with a predetermined contact pressure and thereby melting or thermally pressing the component contacts into the second substrate surface in the region of the bore;
- selectively depositing metal into the bore pattern and surrounding the bores from the first substrate surface to create the vias.
Weiterhin ist im Schritt, der dem Fixieren der Bauelemente im Schaltungssubstrat dient, statt eines Erwärmens der Bauelemente grundsätzlich auch eine Erwärmung des Schaltungssubstrats als solchen oder eine Kombination der Erwärmung sowohl der Bauelemente als auch des Schaltungssubstrats mit jeweils geeigneten Mitteln möglich.Furthermore, in the step which serves to fix the components in the circuit substrate, heating of the circuit substrate as such or a combination of heating both the components and the circuit substrate with suitable means is basically possible instead of heating the components.
In einer Ausführung der Erfindung werden die Bauelemente auf eine Aufsetztemperatur im Bereich zwischen 100°C und 400°C, insbesondere zwischen 250°C und 350°C erwärmt, und/oder der Anpressdruck liegt im Bereich zwischen 0,05N und 50N, insbesondere zwischen 0,1N und 30N.In one embodiment of the invention, the components are heated to a setting temperature in the range between 100 ° C and 400 ° C, in particular between 250 ° C and 350 ° C, and / or the contact pressure is in the range between 0.05N and 50N, in particular between 0.1N and 30N.
In vorteilhaften Ausführungen des Verfahrens wird die Metallabscheidung in das Bohrungsmuster nach dem Einschmelzen bzw. thermischen Einpressen der Bauelemente, insbesondere mittels eines elektrochemischen oder physikalischen Dünnschichtverfahrens, CVD bzw. PVD, ausgeführt. Es können hier herkömmliche, etablierte Abschaltungsverfahren eingesetzt werden, soweit nicht mit Blick auf das thermoplastische Substratmaterial bestimmte Einschränkungen erforderlich sind.In advantageous embodiments of the method, the metal deposition into the bore pattern after the melting or thermal pressing of the components, in particular by means of an electrochemical or physical thin-film process, CVD or PVD executed. Conventional, established shutdown methods can be used here, unless certain restrictions are required with regard to the thermoplastic substrate material.
Optional wird nach der Metallabscheidung eine galvanische Verstärkung der abgeschiedenen Dünnschicht ausgeführt. Die Notwendigkeit des Ausführens eines solchen weiteren (und hinsichtlich der Prozessbedingungen unter Umweltschutz- und Arbeitsschutzaspekten nicht unkritischen) Verfahrensschrittes ist eine Entscheidung aufgrund der erforderlichen Leitfähigkeit und Robustheit der Leiterkonfiguration bzw. Durchkontaktierungen zu treffen.Optionally, a galvanic reinforcement of the deposited thin film is carried out after the metal deposition. The need to carry out such another (and not uncritical in terms of environmental and occupational safety aspects of the process) process step is a decision to make because of the required conductivity and ruggedness of the conductor configuration or vias.
In einer aus derzeitiger Sicht bevorzugten Ausführung wird mindestens auf Bereiche der zweiten Substratoberfläche eine thermoplastische Schutzfolie auflaminiert. Dieses Auflaminieren kann im gleichen Schritt wie das Bestücken des Schaltungssubstrats mit den Bauelementen erfolgen, also gewissermaßen indem die Bauelemente beim Auflaminieren der Schutzfolie in das Schaltungssubstrat gepresst werden. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine Trennung beider Schritte möglich. Neben der zweiten Substratoberfläche kann auch die erste Substratoberfläche, also diejenige mit der Leiterkonfiguration, mit einer Schutzfolie bedeckt werden, so dass insbesondere eine beidseitige Versiegelung zum optimalen Schutz der elektronischen Baugruppe vor Umgebungseinflüssen realisiert wird.In a preferred embodiment from the present point of view, a thermoplastic protective film is laminated on at least areas of the second substrate surface. This lamination can be performed in the same step as the mounting of the circuit substrate with the components, so to speak, in that the components are pressed into the circuit substrate during lamination of the protective film. In principle, however, a separation of both steps is possible. In addition to the second substrate surface, the first substrate surface, ie the one with the conductor configuration, can also be covered with a protective film so that, in particular, a double-sided seal for optimal protection of the electronic assembly against environmental influences is realized.
Hinsichtlich der Verfahrensbedingungen, speziell Temperatur- und Anpressdruck, gelten die obigen Feststellungen für den Schritt des Bestückens des Schaltungssubstrats mit den Bauelementen normalerweise analog; beim Einsatz spezieller Laminierungsfolien sind aber ggfs. auch andere Verfahrensparameter einzustellen.With regard to the process conditions, especially temperature and contact pressure, the above findings for the step of mounting the circuit substrate to the devices are usually analog; if special lamination films are used, however, other process parameters may also need to be adjusted.

Die Ausrichtung zwischen dem Bohrungsmuster im Schaltungssubstrat 3 und dem Mikrochip 5 wird mittels eines optischen Ausrichtungsverfahrens (Optical Alignement) ausgeführt, welches in der Figur durch einen Pfeil mit dem Bezugszeichen O.A. symbolisiert ist. Für diesen Schritt können branchentypische Montagesysteme wie Bilderfassung verwendet werden. Dabei werden die Bohrungen 3c im Schaltungssubstrat (der LCP-Folie) optisch aufgenommen und die Bauelemente mit geringer Lagetoleranz (ca. 5-25 µm) auf dem Schaltungssubstrat positioniert.The alignment between the hole pattern in the circuit substrate 3 and the
Bei der Positionierung wird der Mikrochip 5 auf eine Temperatur in der Nähe des Tg der LCP-Folie 3a, z.B. einen Wert im Bereich zwischen 250°C und 350°C, erwärmt und mit vorbestimmter Kraft, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 0,1N und 30N, in die benachbarte Oberfläche der LCP-Folie gedrückt. Diese wird dabei lokal erwärmt und damit erweicht, so dass die Bauelementkontakte 5a sich in die benachbarte Umgebung der Bohrungen 3c eindrücken und das Bauelement spaltfrei bündig an der benachbarten Oberfläche des Schaltungssubstrats 3 haftet.In positioning, the
Anschließend wurde auf beide Oberflächen des Schaltungssubstrats 3 jeweils eine Schutzfolie 9.1 bzw. 9.2 auflaminiert. Auch die Schutzfolien 9.1, 9.2 bestehen aus einem thermoplastischen Material, beispielsweise einer mit der LCP-Folie 3a gleichartigen LCP-Folie. Diese verkapselt die elektronische Baugruppe 1 weitgehend diffusionsdicht gegenüber der Umgebung und ermöglicht so den Einsatz in medizinischen Implantaten oder Geräten zum Einsatz in rauen Umgebungen.Subsequently, in each case a protective film 9.1 or 9.2 was laminated on both surfaces of the circuit substrate 3. The protective films 9.1, 9.2 are made of a thermoplastic material, for example a LCP film similar to the
